Our precious Holden turned 3 years old today! Those three years have flown by! Even though he is three, I still look at him and think of him as my baby. At three years old Holden weighs 34 lbs (70%) and is 38 1/4 in. tall (70%). His speech and language has just recently boomed! He talks all the time and is quite understandable. Some of his favorites are: wrestling/fighting/playing with Jaxson, playing Wii, jumping on his trampoline, doing puzzles, reading books, drinking juice and milk, eating pizza, chicken and rice casserole, and mac and cheese. He is such a funny kid and is always surprising us with what he says. He is also a VERY loving and cuddly kid. He never turns down a chance for me to hold/cuddle with him. He is still in love with his special burp rag, which is starting to look more like a rag after three years since he’s not big on letting me wash it 🙂 He is such a special boy to us and we love him sooooo much! Happy Birthday Holdie!

Magnatiles are one of our new favorite toys! They are too cool to keep a secret. There are different shapes (triangles, small squares, large squares) and they are magnatized. You can build pretty much anything with them. They are a bit pricey, but they are totally worth it!

A couple of weeks ago we traveled up to Eldora for the Buckley Family Christmas. It is always so nice to see all of the extended family and enjoy some wonderful food 🙂 We then headed over to Mom and Mike’s where we had Christmas with them. We all must have been good boys and girls again this year, as we were very spoiled 🙂

Brad and I took the boys up to the Boone Scenic Valley Railroad to ride the Polar Express train. It was pretty cute. Along our ride to the North Pole, we got to enjoy hot chocolate and cookies while dressed in our pajamas. We also had fun singing Christmas carols. Once we got to the North Pole, we picked up Santa Claus and he gave each child a bell. The boys thought it was pretty neat that they got to ride on a train and see Santa 🙂

Love these boys! Holden isn’t too excited because we had to wake him up from a nice nap, but he really did have fun.

We had our Winter Family Christmas on Sunday at the farm. We all started off by surprising Dad at his church and attending the service with him. He was pleasantly surprised 🙂 We then headed out to the farm where we enjoyed some present opening and some chili. If we had known that it was going to be sunny and 60+ degrees, we would have grilled. The kids had fun playing outside with all of Brandon and Jess’ critters and on Brandon’s toys.
